Natural materials with a twist of color makes for a perfect combination in my opinion! I found the most wonderfully sized twigs over at OTC and I knew I had to have them. Add in a little colorful yarn and I was in business!

Today I am sharing how you too can make an easy and fun Yarn Wrapped Twig Wreath and a fun roundup of other twig wreaths at the bottom of this post.

I love making season wreaths.  They are such a fun way to bring your excact style to life.  A few other fall wreaths I've made are a Fall Plate Wreath and a Green Beaded Wreath.

How to create square wreath diy

To make these adorable square wreaths, start by gathering your twigs. I used twigs that were roughly 6″ in length for the larger wreaths and 3″ in length for the smaller ones.

If you don’t have tree branches available to you, you can get 100 twigs a the box, so you can make them as big or as small as you would like.

Hot glue twigs

The secret to making a larger wreath is you can hot glue two twigs together to make a larger side. It works perfectly since the twigs aren’t heavy and hot glue is sufficient for holding the sides together.

Once you have hot glued two twigs together for your larger sized wreath, slowly create a square shape and hot glue each corner until they feel strong and sturdy.

Wrap yarn

Once the basic shape of your wreath is made, you can start to wrap your yarn for a little more color and personality! I started at a corner and hot glued my yarn. Then wrap as many times around as you would like.

If you are doing multiple colors (which I think looks so fun) then add a dab of glue to finish off the yarn color and repeat with more glue on your next yarn.

I thought it looked cool to only do yarn on only a few sides, so the natural twig could show through – but you can go with your own designs here.

Plus, if you are like me… you have a tons of gorgeous yarn sitting around your home with no use in sight. And I always love finding uses for my yarn stash!

Adding greenery to wreath

After your yarn has been added to the wreaths, you can add the finishing touch of greenery! I used some various leaves and greenery and then a big fun flower.

I plan to hang these little beauties in my home but am just trying to find the best spot for them… maybe my front entry, maybe my dining room! I want to try and make even a larger one – wouldn’t that be dramatic.
